I pitched in to help prep music for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (Don Davis, composer). Sheldon Music founder Stan Sheldon was an inspiration and I'm grateful to have worked with him on his last gig before retirement. Highlights of working with Stan included recording sessions on the famous Newman stage at Fox Studios with a 96-piece orchestra.
